Benefits of technology

[0012]FIG. 1 is a graph that demonstrates how the percentage of soy protein in a vegetarian blend affects relative digestibility and protein quality.
[0013]The instant invention is a nutritional supplement or food composition comprised of protein from soy, protein from rice and protein from peas, with the soy protein portion derived from fermented and/or non-fermented soy sources. This invention includes in an e...

Problems solved by technology

It does not, however, disclose any specific formulation of blended proteins, nor specific ratios or percentages of particular protein combinations to achieve a desired digestibility, namely, a level of digestibility that is comparable or similar to whey.
Furthermore, it does not disclose any specific targets of digestibility or choices or combinations of any of the proteins referenced therein, so as to achieve a level of digestibility similar to whey, which represents the “gold standard” for non-vegetarians.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]Because of their good consumer perception, relatively high digestibilities, widespread availability and low allergenicities, both rice protein and pea protein make excellent choices as additional sources of protein to combine with soy.

[0015]In blending the three proteins of the present invention, the scope of the invention contemplates that the soy protein can be from about 20% to 95% by weight of the total protein content, and the rice and pea proteins can comprise between about 5% to 80%, by weight of the total protein.

[0016]It is preferred to combine 33⅓% by weight soy protein with a blend of 33⅓% rice protein and 33⅓% pea protein to achieve a blend with a relative digestibility that is similar to that of whey protein.

[0017]Table 2 demonstrates the relative digestibility of a protein blend that is 30% soy protein, with the remainder being 35% by weight, rice protein and 35% by weight, pea protein. The resulting digestibility is 0.72 on the PDCAAS scale, as compared with soy...

Abstract

A vegetarian nutritional supplement including soy protein, rice protein and pea protein which are blended in particular ratios, by weight, to impart a level of digestibility comparable to whey, which is the benchmark for non-vegetarian food products and nutritional supplements.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the provision of a food product which includes a blend of proteins and, more particularly, to a proteinaceous, vegetarian, food product or nutritional supplement with a high level of digestibility.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Over the past 25 years, the health food industry has seen a dramatic rise in the popularity of protein shakes. Protein shakes are consumed for a variety of purposes, ranging from assisting in weight loss to supporting muscle growth to enhancing general athletic performance. The variety of protein shake flavors on the market has also grown dramatically. Nowadays, with myriad delicious shakes available, some consumers purchase protein shakes with no specific purpose in mind, other than to enjoy the flavor or texture of a delicious shake.[0003]Nevertheless, a majority of protein shake consumers do have a particular purpose in mind. One category of protein shakes, in which a particular purpose is a ma...
